Our Enlightenment Mental Health programs provide patients with a integrated and holistic approach to take them from illness to a state of wellness.

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that can be effective for many different mental health issues. It can help people to heal by reducing troubling symptoms and can help people to create a greater sense of well-being. Difficulties that psychotherapy can help with include Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression, Anxiety, Grief, and Addiction. While this is not an exhaustive list these are some of the more common issues that psychotherapists encounter.

Suicide intervention is the direct result of one who helps a suicidal person from attempting to take their own life intentionally. Suicide prevention is comprehensive and requires many efforts to work in combination to prevent a person from taking their own life. First, it's important to identify and help people who are at risk for suicide using skills and helping people to recognize when they need support. Ongoing psychotherapy using safety planning and evidence based intervents is an effective treatment option for suicide prevention.

Psychedelic therapy refers to therapy for mental disorders whereby the client receives between one to several doses of a classic serotonergic psychedelic (psilocybin, LSD, or Ayahuasca) under a carefully controlled environment in a professional clinical setting with a therapist present who acts as a guide for the participant receiving the dose of psychedelic medication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based treatment option to help people to explore the links between their thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It works by helping people to incorporate more adaptive thoughts which in turn change their behavior. It is used to help people who suffer from a wide range of mental issues including Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and Eating Disorders. This is not an exhaustive list but these are some of the more common issues.

Brainspotting is used to help people process and move through trauma. Brainspotting is based on the neuroscience of 'where you look affects how you feel." Brainspotting facilitates healing by accessing the midbrain through the optic nerve using points in the client's visual field to treat symptoms caused by traumatic memories. Early studies of Brainspotting indicate that it is as effective as EMDR in treating PTSD, and can also help people who are struggling with anxiety or depression. Studies also show that clients can make significant progress in one to three sessions, similar to EMDR.

Traumatic memories can overwhelm the brain and manifest as ailments in the body. We can experience trauma at any age and be from all walks of life. Trauma can trigger anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and attachment issues. Specific therapy that is evidence-based should be used when working with processing trauma.

Mindfulness is the act of paying nonjudgmental attention to the present moment - it gives you the gift of space: space to think, space to breathe, and space between a trigger and your reaction. By developing a sense of present-moment awareness, you can observe the thoughts that arise in your mind as something to be noticed but not necessarily reacted to or identified with. From this place, you can find clarity, empath, and acceptance.

Meditation is a tool that can be used for coping with life issues including stress and anxiety, reducing physical discomfort, and putting things into perspective to respond versus react in stressful situations. Quieting your mind will give you the peace and stillness necessary to make good decisions in life and to subdue chaos in your life.

Massage not only feels great but has proven mental and physical benefits. We all have experienced the calm and relaxing effects of massage, as it reduces our stress levels. Reduced stress levels have been linked to a reduction of cortisol in the body, which lowers your flight, fight, or freeze response in the body. This helps to reduce hypervigilance and create a sense of peace for the client receiving a massage.

The word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root Yuj meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke. It is through the practice of yoga that we learn to bring harmony to the body and mind through subtle body movements that are practiced and learned by an experienced yoga teacher. Some of the many benefits include reduced stress, increased flexibility, increased strength, and a greater sense of well-being.

The history of breath tells us that the process of breathing was always considered inseparable from our health, consciousness, and spirit, and it's only recently that it's been reduced to a mere respiratory exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Today we understand that breath therapy combined with other healing modalities such as biofeedback or yoga has been found to alleviate (and sometimes cure), migraine headaches, chronic pain conditions, hypertension (HBP), panic attacks, anxiety, as well as coronary artery disease.
